AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoHousing & Grants: Brisbane first-home buyers are being locked out of Queensland’s $30,000 First Home Owner Grant because the $750,000 new-home threshold is “unrealistic” versus land and build costs, with calls to lift the cap to $850,000. Markets & Crypto: Bitcoin is hovering near $77,000 after a sharp pullback from last year’s peak, as ETF outflows and options positioning keep traders watching for whether the dip is a pause or a new slide. Banking/Payments Tech: Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro financing is patchy in Australia—unlike the US, where a $100 unlocked vs carrier-connected split is explicit, Australian storefronts we checked show no named financing partner. Superannuation/Wealth Planning: A US-focused “great wealth transfer” theme is back in the spotlight, with surveys finding many families still haven’t discussed inheritance strategy—an issue that matters for long-term financial planning. Community & Health Fundraising: Perth’s “Bloody Long Walk” for mitochondrial disease is underway, highlighting how grassroots fundraising supports families facing rare genetic disorders.
